Embodying the Heart of a Healer:  A Course for all Human Beings

This seminar will enhance your capacity to offer yourself in compassionate service and deepen your embodiment of a healing and loving presence regardless of the relationship, context, or task at hand.

Adapted from the curriculum of the Cultivating a Healing Presence course for health practitioners, this program is an explicit invitation for us all, regardless of profession, age, and life circumstance, to step into our role as healers for ourselves, each other, and all.  If you feel a call to be of service to the greater good, no matter how broad the scope of your contribution, please consider enrolling in this profound and foundational course.  Now more than ever, we all, in our own embodiment and the unique ways in which we choose to serve, are truly vital medicine; individuals, collectives, and our planet are calling out for deep healing.

This highly experiential two-day seminar begins with an emphasis on expanding our awareness, including embracing “heal thyself” as a necessary path to serve with greater presence and compassion.  The focus on the “self” is integrated into an awareness of others through exercises that interweave communication and coaching skills, somatic practices, and subtle energy observation and listening.  In learning to develop greater trust, rapport, and connection with others, we will also engage in an inquiry process that will help us to access a more authentic and embodied way of moving through our lives in love and service.  Finally, we will explore how our capacity to offer a healing presence to others is a direct reflection of our own vitality and an expression of the passion and unique flavor we each bring to our life and work. 

This weekend will nourish you, deepen the heart and soul of your work and offering, and allow who you “are” to become your service.  Reconnect with your passion and find your life and work infused with vital energy.  Gift yourself, your family, clients, community, and the world by consciously choosing to embody the heart of a healer.

Read what past participants have said of the Cultivating a Healing Presence program, a very similar curriculum offered to health practitioners:

“Dr. Deb is an incredible teacher.  It is obvious this is not just what she is educated in, it is the way she lives.  She is honest, open hearted and gentle with each person individually.  She speaks in a way that is easy to grasp the concepts that are not so concrete and often foreign in our culture.  I would highly recommend her teachings.  I will not be the same moving forward.”

“In 13 years of continuing education, this was the most helpful seminar I have ever taken as far as enabling me to be a better physician."

“Above and beyond my expectations!  I gained more than I thought I could or would, so I would add “brilliant” behind Dr. Deb’s teaching!”

“I would love to see Dr. Deb teach many many more courses as she truly teaches from her heart, and passion pours out of her soul!  She is very present and grounded!”

“The course is fun, challenging, thought provoking, stimulating, playful, and simply amazing.  The 16 hours seemed to fly by.  I would take it again and would recommend it to anyone.”

“Dr. Deb covers a lot of different aspects of what it means to cultivate a healing presence, but I was able to immediately apply all that I learned.”

“It is coming full circle to being fully more at home in yourself.”

“This class has tripled my awareness of not only myself, but others.”

“I’m going to be more aware of my behavior, speech, energy level and subtle details of working with clients.  I’m sure I’m going to be more confident and courageous about how I relate one-on-one in my practice.”

“Dr. Zucker does such a wonderful job integrating life, job, healing and self in a constructive way.”

“This [workshop] will create a huge opportunity for more healing and understanding to flow.”

“I’d recommend this to anyone at any level.”

“What stood out the most to me was how well Dr. Zucker planned the course and integrated the phases of learning into a very whole and complete experience.”
